Former San Diego mayor Bob Filner who spent three months under house arrest for false imprisonment and battery of women told NBC 7 he is writing his memoirs.
Filner declined to talk on-camera, and would not talk about politics, even off-camera but he did say he is writing an autobiography/memoir, for which he hopes to soon find a publisher.
Filner, who looks fit and relaxed, said he also recently ran a marathon in the Los Angeles area.
Filner visited the downtown studios Friday as his former fiancée, Bronwyn Ingram, appeared on “Politically Speaking.” Ingram said she and Filner are not dating and are just friends.
Filner stood in the studio and watched the show’s taping on an in-house monitor.
One of the show’s guests just happened to be Laura Fink, Filner’s former employee who spoke out in the summer of 2013 with allegations of sexual harassment.
Fink, who worked for Congressman Bob Filner in 2005, told NBC 7 she had an uncomfortable run-in when she says he asked her to turn around and then touched her backside.
After the show’s taping, Fink left the studio without speaking to Filner. She later posted an update to Twitter about the run-in with her former boss.
Filner resigned from office in August 2013 after months of scandal.
More than a dozen women accused him of inappropriate behavior.
In October 2013, he pleaded guilty to felony false imprisonment and two misdemeanor charges of battery involving victims of sexual harassment and completed 90 days of house arrest.
